It is easy to critique a man who goes against the mindless, mainstream, "osterich" philosophy.What was the last original, progressive, thought, our current leader had? Why is passionate, intellectual, long-term thinking a bad thing? I agree that mother nature can heal herself. However, it would seem her best course of treatment would be to thin out the top parasites first. We are destroying her in ways, and a rate we don't even fully realize. What happens when China and South Asia become fully industrialized economies. With Shell, Exxon, etc, drooling at the prospective profits?
